Quoted from the README, so I'm not sure what the point of confusion was:
New development takes place on the branch currently called "master", which git will fetch by default.
git clone https://github.com/apache/xalan-java.git git clone https://github.com/apache/xalan-test.git (In the past this code was hosted at gitbox.apache.org, but that now redirects to the github copy.) If you want to build a specific release rather than the development version, you can obtain that by adding the release's branch name to the git clone operation. For example, to get the code released as version 2.7.1, you would issue the commandgit clone https://github.com/apache/xalan-java.git --single-branch --branch xalan-j_2_7_1
There will also usually be a _maint branch, which is used for development and testing of "hot fixes" that will be made available as new point releases (for example, 2.7.1.1). You would access this as
git clone https://github.com/apache/xalan-java.git --single-branch --branch xalan-j_2_7_1_maint
